The violinist Midori received the 2020 Brahms Prize from the Schleswig-Holstein Brahms Society last Saturday in recognition of her successful career.
Due to the pandemic, the award ceremony in Wesselburen has been postponed from February 2020 to this month of August 2022.
According to the jury’s statement, Midori deserves this award for her internationally celebrated interpretations of Brahms’s works, as well as for the great support for the younger generation of artists and her special commitment to projects that promote culture, especially as UN Ambassador of Peace.
